https://yesterdazenews.com/2018/10/26/veonity-legend-of-the-starborn-album-review/
My verdict on ‘Legend of the Starborn’… After listening to this album for a good week in multiple ways; earbuds, house stereo and in my car, it’s hot pick! I suggest that you get this one for your collection. You are going to hear many great elements in this album that just keep coming. Pay attention because you will find yourself saying, wait, what was that. Then going to back to hear part of an arrangement again. I did this on “Gates of Hell”. It has this almost Satrianistyle of playing that was really cool mixed in their sound! I really enjoyed this album. Definitely one I will be playing for a long time to come.

Montreal, QC – October 28, 2018
Inverse Records: Dive Into Longing With ATLAS (Finland) Through The New Video for “Pareidolia”
European Tour w/ Monuments
The second video from Atlas’ new album ‘Primitive’ was released on October 5, 2018; the sixth track of the album ‘Pareidolia’ is a forlorn song full of emotion set against the aggressive and fast music Atlas has been gracing us with since their conception.
‘Pareidolia’ was released alongside the full length and both feature pristine production with melancholic lyrics and exquisite guitar tones. The pensive video is morose, but also conveys a sense of fortitude. It was filmed somewhere in Finland in June 2016 by Nikke Puskala and Patrik Nuorteva, and edited by Patrik Nuorteva and Tuomas Kurikka of Perish Films.
Watch ‘Pareidolia’ on YouTube:
The album was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki with audio engineer and producer Tuomas YliJaskari (Lost Society, Valkeat, etc.). The mixing and mastering took place in Sweden at Impact Studios by Buster Odeholm (Born of Osiris, Sworn In, Humanitys Last Breath, etc.). The album was released October 5th through Inverse Recordsand is available at the following links:

(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – October 26, 2018
TestYourMetalOfficial.com | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

Test Your Metal Records: Out Now! Extreme Sci-Fi Metal RAPHEUMETS WELL New Album “The Elder’s Anthology”
New Music Video “Witch of Darkspire” (NSFW contains nudity)
Blending a sound that is a complex mix of classical orchestrations, cosmic synths, and extreme metal to portray the epics of parallel worlds, Hickory, NC, based Rapheumets Well (Ra-few-mets) bring forth a voyage enriched with lore, fabricated from scratch to show the depth in which represents them as artists. From the birth of organic matter to great wars that tear the fabric of space and time, the story of Rapheumets Well’s music serves to immerse you into a world of oddities.
Inspired by the fictitious universe of the Atai, Rapheumets Well have unleashed three albums over the years, Dimensions (2014), Exile (2016) and Enders Door (2017) that progressively told a larger story portrayed in a complex saga of the Atai (ancient architects) who aid in the propagation of sentient life throughout the multi-verse. Returning in 2018, the sci-fi metallers are officially releasing their epic “The Elder’s Anthology”, now available as of October 26th on Test Your Metal Records. The album is a trilogy of sorts featuring selective tracks remixed and remastered from their three previous releases.
The band comments:
“‘The Elder’s Anthology’ is a collection of songs (we felt) are important in re-igniting the lore of the previous albums. With new changes and new members, we felt it was important to transpose their skills into the foundation of the band. The Elder’s Anthology is re-mastered with updated guitars, vocals, and baselines and we fell this was appropriate for moving forward with the next full length album!”
“The Elder’s Anthology” is available on CD plus digital download and stream on the band’s online store here, Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify and all other major digital platforms.

“Hickory, NC’s Rapheumets Well(pronounced Ra-few-mets) is a band heavily steeped in science fiction and fantasy. And when I say heavily, I mean HEAVILY. They slam dunk their lushly orchestral and luxurious symphonic melodic blackened death metal into a fantastical and fantastically creative and complex world that I don’t even want to embarrass myself trying to explain. But, you gotta give mad ol’ props to any band willing to dive head first into something as elaborately conceptual as this costumed and inventive septet have from the off.” – Decibel Magazine
“if you like the theatrical havoc generated by Fleshgod Apocalypse and Dimmu Borgir, for example, you’ll fall in love for the music found in The Exile, the brand new concept album by the symphonic horde known as Rapheumets Well. ” – The Headbanging Moose
“As you’re about to find out, this first song from the new album combines turbocharged death metal vehemence with sweeping orchestral melodies, interweaving blazing drumwork and rapid-fire riffing with cosmic synthesizer vistas and fluid soloing, vicious growls and hair-raising shrieks with a vaulting clean-sung passage that coincides with the protagonist’s decision to end his apathy.” – No Clean Singing
“The Exile brings symphonic elements to more intense and sometimes speedy death metal. Solid bursts of adrenaline, with the symphonies effectively working to provide a balance to these heavier moments, as heard in “The Epic of Darmak.” But the band is more than a one-trick pony, and frequently gives way to other flights of fancy while keeping the death metal sharp…an album that is well-written and enjoyable from start to finish. The potential is there for the band to really spread their wings for album number three.” – Dead Rhetoric

0 ATRIA To Open Kingston, ON Nov 24th Date of The Metal Alliance Tour Featuring Goatwhore, The Casualties + More!
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – October 25, 2018
For fans of In Flames, Soilwork, Trivium
ATRIA To Open Kingston Nov 24th Date of The Metal Alliance Tour
Featuring Goatwhore, The Casualties + More!
New Video “Someone With Me”
Debut EP “New World Nightmare” Out Nov. 16th
L-R – Tim Ross (Guitar), Brent Westmoreland (Bass), Tom Emmans (Vocals), Matt McGuire (Drums), and Travis McGinnis (Guitar)
Playing heavy, yet catchy music with prime influences including Lamb of God, Soilwork, Tool and Slipknot, Canadian anthemic metal band ATRIA have been given the nod to open the Kingston, ON November 24th tour stop of The Metal Alliance Tour featuring Goatwhore, The Casualties, Black Tusk, Great American Ghost and Gozu. This will be ATRIA‘s first performance showcasing headbangers off their debut EP “New World Nightmare” due out November 16th.
Drummer Matt McGuire comments:
“It is such a privilege and an opportunity as a new band to learn from true professionals. It’s experiences like this that make us better overnight.”
For full details on The Metal Alliance Tour in Kingston on November 24th, please visit the event link here.
ATRIA‘s debut release “New World Nightmare” is just a teaser of what is to be expected from them. Not just sticking with the usual heavy formula of the genre, they also add plenty of synth and orchestral parts and experiment with varying degrees of technicality over four introductory tracks.
Check out their music video for their first single “Someone With Me”.
Vocalist Tom Emmans expands on his vision for the band’s direction:
“I’ve always been a fan of catchy choruses. I like when bands can bring something dark and heavy, but also give me something to sing along to. We’ve tried to do that with our new single and I think we’ve accomplished that. Also the lyrics have a great deal of depth and personal meaning to them. The rest of the album is much heavier but there are still plenty of good hooks worked in there.”
Even as a relatively new band, ATRIA is finding their place in the Canadian underground scene and making their name known among a wide variety of metal fans.
EP pre-order available on Bandcamp here along with playlist pre-save on Spotify playlist here.

1. New World Nightmare

BIO:
Founded by Tom Emmans (vocals) and Tim Ross (guitar) in August of 2017, ATRIA takes its name from a music venue in a nearby city at which Emmans and Ross played their first gig at with a different band. The experiences had at that place resonated enough to be cemented as the band’s moniker. Eventually they recruited Matt McGuire (drummer), Brent Westmoreland (bass) and Travis McGinnis (guitar) to fill out the lineup and have played a handful of shows and festivals with a great response and are hungry for more. The debut release for the band, New World Nightmare EP, is due November 16th, 2018. Even as a relatively new band, Atria is finding their place in the Canadian underground scene and making their name known amongst a wide variety of metal fans.
